Looking for a Doctor/ Hematologist in England
« on: May 05, 2008, 10:51:29 AM »
Hi Everyone
I was just wondering if anyone knows of any doctors/ hematologists in England who understand some of the issues around beta thal minor? I want to see someone who can do the right blood tests and give me good advice etc on this topic and who won't laugh at me when i say what we are all saying here.....
Thank you so much for any ideas of who to get in touch with!

I understand that Dr Shah is a wonderful doctor, but be prepared as always for symptoms of thal minor being discounted as not related to thal. All I can say is doctors should check this website before saying that, as far too many minors have come here with very similar symptoms and it doesn't take a math whiz to tell you that the odds are astronomical that so many minors could all have the same symptoms and not have it related to thalassemia.

All we are saying is give thals a chance.

Thanks very much I will get in touch with them and let you know how I get on. I will take some of the info you have written on the post, Andy, which is very helpful, and see what they say.
I will take my husband with me as he knows I am not mad and will back me up when they say I am imagining it all!
Thanks and all the best....
